What are your reasons to be cheerful?
If religions were TV channels atheism is turning the TV off.
"Religion is a culture of faith; science is a culture of doubt." ― Richard P. Feynman
'It is said that your life flashes before your eyes just before you die. That is true, it's called Life.' - Terry Pratchett
Remember, your inability to grasp science is not a valid argument against it.

Congrats to your daughter. Will this be your first grandchild?
The world's what you create.

Yep! It's due on 3rd December, I'll be 51 on the 1st December so there is the possibility it will be born on my birthday which would be rather nice.

Is this intended as a thread for everyone's "reasons to be cheerful," or just a sneaky way to announce your grandchild's imminent arrival?

Good to hear, Tank. That's sweet.

Lots of reason to be cheerful, just that we often forget. I'm happy that no matter what kind of day I'm having, when I come home, my dogs greet me as if I was a long, lost friend. They get so excited and happy that I forget about the problems of the day.

We are members of a 'Happy' forum, atheist, agnostic or theist, the operative word is 'happy', so what are your reasons to be cheerful?

Rats. They have themselves a new toy they are fascinated with. Watching them makes me cheery-like :D
